MillerCoors Dedicates September to Improving Water Quality

During its first annual Water Stewardship Month, MillerCoors' 10 breweries and headquarters are engaging in partnerships and volunteer projects to promote responsible water use.

Among the projects on tap for this month are river and beach clean-up events, water quality testing projects, planting trees and foliage to help filter and retain groundwater, and other water education and improvement events.

"Water Stewardship Month represents two important commitments at MillerCoors: environmental sustainability and community investment," said Cornell Boggs, MillerCoors' Chief Ethics and Responsibility Officer. "We are committed to conserving water as a valuable resource, not only in our operations, but also in our communities."

Last year, the company achieved a water usage ratio of 4.1 barrels of water per barrel of beer, below the United Nations' established target for brewers of 5 barrels of water per barrel of beer.
